Look inside
The Python data science ecosystem is a powerful and open-source toolset utilized daily by thousands of data scientists and machine learning engineers. But with so many Python machine learning libraries to choose from, which tool works best for your needs?
In this liveProject, you’ll go hands-on with the scikit-learn and H2O frameworks, using them both to build working machine learning classifiers. You’ll use raw financial data and the tried-and-true random forest model to predict the chance of financial loan defaults. Once you’ve built your models, you'll compare implementations to find out which works best and evaluate your results against existing hard-coded tools.
